emergency.

The New York stock market on yester.
day was in a wild stnte OF excitement over
false rumors. first OF the death of Jay
Gould and then that Gould. Sage and Field
had quarrelled. OF course there was no
truth in any Of these reports but stocks
took a decidedly downward tendency. The
bears fercely assaulted every stronghold
Of the bulls and for a time pressed them
hard and finally the latter regained their
lost ground in a large measure. Some OF
the strongest stocks in the market were
severely shaken but the day closed with a
bright outlook for the bulls to-day.
